This past week Liz came home for college spring break and helped mom (Laura) finish wallpapering the kitchen and mud-room. Then, they worked on putting the house back together, including pictures or wall ornaments.

This coming week Mik is visiting Liz at Saint Catherine University on Monday and Tuesday! Mik is going to get the college experience of going to classes, viewing campus, reading a campus map, and touring St. Paul Highland.

This past weekend there were 2 baby calves born! One was early Friday afternoon to Jacob favorite heifer, Shasta, the heifer he took to the county fair. A beautiful bull calf was born to Shasta on the cold Friday night. The second calf was born to a cow named Montana, for she came from Montana state and has a distinct red/brownish color to her coat. This momma cow is very protective of her calf and we have not yet been able to find out the gender of this calf. :(

SUNSHINE!! When will we get it? I know!
This week promises to give us lots of sunshine until this weekend, then we will be getting lots of warm weather to melt the snow.

Good Evening!
Tonight we are getting prepared to prepare ourselves for Friday's preparation for Saturday St. Paul Farmers market! (wow what a mouthful)

That includes coming up with a new product item: Turkey Breast Roast!
Ever heard of it? NOPE, neither have we! So now we are going to shake up the kitchen with a healthy piece of meat and bake it in the oven with some vegetables! mmmmm YUM :)

Smoked Chickens are marinating and being prepped for the smoke house, we will smoke them tomorrow morning so they are fresh for Saturday! There are many ideas and uses for Smoked Chicken, like:

Tonight Bar Five is creating a warm meal for all its' children: Liz, Mik, Jess and Jake are eagerly awaiting a warm beef roast to emerge from the oven. Its wrapped carefully in aluminum foil to preserve the flavor and juice that will be turned into a rich gravy to accompany the rosemary and garlic potatoes, green beans and slices apples.
Tomorrow the left over meat will join the children at school as Roast Beef Sandwiches for lunch! Ohh YUM!

Here is a big "THANK YOU" to all our St. Paul and Minneapolis customers who came to visit us at the market!
We made it through the cold, bone-chilling wind, along with slippery ice patches today that made the market less lively and cheerful today! :(
But, no matter! There is a predicted amount of sunshine and warm weather coming to MN to brighten up the market!
Keep in touch for EASTER SPECIALS soon to be posted to our Facebook Account and here at the Bar Five Blast!
